The AGNULA IST-Project [0] is proud, after two months of feedback from
our beta-testers and hacking, to officially announce the launch of the
"Libre Music" (aka "muzik") project:
http://muzik.agnula.org
One of the objectives of the AGNULA-IST project is help spreading
sensibility on the topics of Libre Software, with specific attention
paid to audio/video applications and content distribution. In order
to reach this goal, the AGNULA-IST project has set up a publicly
accessible database of Libre Music, i.e. musical works licensed under
either:
- the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license [1]
- the Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 license [2]
- the EFF Open Audio License 1.0.1 [3]
We are not going to compete with other, similar, efforts. On the
contrary, we would like to be complementary to other
projects/databases who are already working or are planning to work in
the same field.
If you want to contribute to our development effort, feel free to
subscribe [4] to our development portal [5] and ask either one of the
`muzik' project [6] administrators (Davide Fugazza [7] and Andrea
Glorioso [8]) to be added to the project - you will be able to use
our CVS, bug tracking and task manager tools.
If you, your company and/or your organization is interested in sharing
its archives of Libre Music by publishing it on AGNULA Libre Music
database and/or if you want further information, feel free to send
your questions, suggestions and/or criticisms to:
<users(a)lists.agnula.org> [9]
for general discussion, and/or to:
<info(a)agnula.org>
for general, info-line style questions on the AGNULA project.
+++
About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the
European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action
IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass). The project aims
to spread Free Software in the professional audio/video arena.

"wcnt - wav composer not toilet. a not-real-time modular synthesis sampling
sequencing, audio WAV file generator. it reads a plain text file written in
wcnt's 'near english synth definition language' and spews out audio into one
or more wav files."
wcnt-1.1001 is now released. Unofficially code named 'Bog Brush', and
available for download at wcnt.sourceforge.net
*** new features/changes ***
* tempo and signature changes, tempo can be ramped.
* sampler now has reverse playback, and, reverse and bi-directional
loop modes. the loop points can also be set relative to the
modulatable start point. different play modes for when playback
initially travels away from loop. several other new features and
improvements.
* filters have had the sine wave masquerading as resonance removed. in
place is an in_feedback input which ordinarily will take the filters
own wet_output. plus wet/dry setting. link several together via
feedback inputs and you'll get something akin to resonance.
* riff_data and note_data. note_data can now be floating point values.
User specifies quarter note value for each riff of notes to suite
needs.
* sequencer has gone through a few changes to accommodate tempo and
signature changes.
* serialwavfileout will create a new wavfile every time it is
triggered. user gives it a base file name, and the module appends a
four digit number with leading zeros. user can specify bar to start
writing in, and the bar to stop writing at.
* stereo_amp now amplifies two signals! has amplitude setting for both
left and right! Wo there. Has had panning removed.
* mono_amp does for one signal what stereo_amp does for two.
* panner will range check the pan modulating signal so it no longer
tries to break the laws of reality by panning further left than full
left, or further right than full right.
* contraster is inspired by the contrast effect in snd. as if I need
to say the effect amount is modulatable. Rudemode setting.
* delay and echo. the input signal gain can be adjusted and/or
modulated. wet/dry output. for the echo, the is an in_feedback input,
and an out_wet_output. program may abort with delay times over 500 ms
but I have successfully set times of 1100 ms.
* dc_filter specify filter time in ms to remove dc. too much (or is
it too little?) and it will remove some punch from signal. probably
just a high pass filter in disguise.
* range_limit to clip a signal.
* multiplier takes two signals.
* rms outputs root mean square for a signal and can get very slow.
* wcnt_exit module tells wcnt when to stop.
Please note: Old wcnt files are no longer readable by this version of wcnt.
The examples for wcnt-1.1001 are now included with the source package.
James.

Hi all,
TAP-plugins 0.4.0 is just released.
Check it out at: http://tap-plugins.sf.net
New plugins:
* TAP Pitch Shifter
Gives you the opportunity to change the pitch of individual tracks
or full mixes, in the range of plus/minus one octave. Audio length
(tempo) is not affected by this plugin, since audio is completely
resampled.
* TAP Rotary Speaker
Simulates the sound of rotating speakers. Two pairs of rotating
speakers are simulated, each pair fixed on a vertical axis, with
their horns spreading the sound in opposite directions.
* TAP Vibrato
Modulates the pitch of its input signal with a low-frequency
sinusoidal signal. It is useful for guitar and synth tracks, and it
can also come handy if a strange effect is needed.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (this bug appeared with hosts
that call activate() before connect_port()).
* Fixed lock-up bug in TAP DeEsser (the bug appeared when an input
sample had +/- INF value).
* Various smaller bugfixes (almost all plugins locked up when control
input values of +/- INF were appiled).
A recommended upgrade ;-)
Enjoy,
Tom

pleased to announce the immediate availability of caps 0.1.4 from:
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
the new release contains one bug fix (JVRev activation failed to
clear the reverb tanks), a number of small improvements and a short
guide to likely targets for tweaking:
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Changelog
but most importantly and unlike the first release announced here, it
compiles cleanly on more recent Linux systems.

pleased to announce the initial release of the caps audio plugin
suite under the GNU public license.
quoting http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html :
caps, the C* Audio Plugin Suite, is a collection of refined LADSPA
units including instrument amplifier emulation, stomp-box classics,
versatile 'virtual analog' oscillators, fractal oscillation, reverb,
equalization and others.
some of caps is an improvement over previous efforts (the rewritten
amplifier emulation plugins for example do 8x oversampling using
polyphase filters, for much cleaner sound) but most of the plugins are
ex nihilo creations.
for those with an interest in DSP effects but no time or opportunity
to run the plugins, the data sheets provided through the above
document may be interesting.
enjoy,
tim
wigwamjam grows sounds using your decisions to drive the evolution of
genetically programmed synth functions.
wigwamjam is proof of concept for the moment, and not a fully blown audio tool
yet.
